A rectangle is generally defined as a quadrilateral with four right angles. No rectangle can have four different side lengths by that definition. Finding the area of such a shape is therefore impossible.
In order to find the perimeter of a 3D rectangle you must gather the lengths of the known sides, calculate the missing rectangular values, and use the formula for perimeter.
The rectangle is 12 units by 3 units.
A rectangle by definition has two pairs of sides with equal length. Since perimeter equals the length of all the sides. The equation for the perimeter of a rectangle could be thought of as: 2L + 2W = P Where L represents the length of one side of the rectangle and W represents the length of the adjacent (next to) side of the rectangle. If you know the length of one side and the perimeter, plug those values in as L and P and then solve for W. That will give you L and W which are the dimensions of the rectangle.
A rectangle with a perimeter of 36 units can have sides of any length as long as the lengths of the two differently-sized sides are equal to 18. For example, a rectangle with sides of 10 units and 8 units (don't forget to state what these units are, whether they are inches or centimetres or any other similar measurement), would have a perimeter of 36.
